Free tree giveaway




SAVING OUR TREES – Marrickville municipality

Great news & a first for ex-Marrickville Council, now the Inner West Council.

On National Tree Day, Sunday 31st July 2016, Council will be giving away free trees so that we can be a part of increasing our urban forest canopy & all the associated benefits trees bring to both the community & the wildlife.

Unfortunately, Council does not say how many trees will be in the giveaway, so if you want one, I recommend getting there earlier rather than later.

Tree species available are –

    Sydney Red Gum/ Smooth Barked Apple (Angophora crostata)
    Coast Banksia (Banksia integrifolia)
    Old Man Banksia (Banksia serrata)
    Illawarra Flame Tree (Brachychiton acerifolius)
    Bottlebrush (Callistemon viminallis cv)
    Black Tea-Tree (Melaleuca bracteata)
    Lemon-scented Tea Tree (Leptospermum petersonii)
    Riberry (Syzygium leuhmannii)

Information about these trees can be found in Council’s pdf document, which includes photos – http://www.marrickville.nsw.gov.au/Global/Environment/In%20your%20community/Tree%20management/treegiveaway/treespecies.pdf

Council staff will be available to talk about the trees available to help you decide which species is best for your property & provide planting & caring advice.


WHEN:  National Tree Day – Sunday 31st July 2016.

WHERE:  The car park at the back of the Debbie and Abbey Borgia Centre in Steel Park Marrickville South.  Council says, “The trees will be advanced sized stock (25 litre bags/300mm pots), so please make sure you can accommodate this size tree when picking it up.”

TIME: 10am – 1pm.

IMPORTANT:  There is a limit of one tree per household. You will need to provide proof of your address in the form of a Council rates notice or Drivers Licence.
